Monitoring your cars fluid levels is one of the most important things
you can do to keep your car well maintained. Vehicles need fluids to
operate efficiently and to prevent wear on engine or transmission
parts. There are several different fluids that should be checked, such
as brake fluid, transmission fluid, and motor oil to name a few. When
operating your vehicle, these fluids break down or become depleted over
time. You’ll find that fluids for your car are generally inexpensive,
and replacing these fluids can go a long way in terms of vehicle
maintenance and reliability. Find all the fluids you need on FCP Groton
from antifreeze to power steering fluid. We also offer fluids by
Redline that perform excellent in higher performance applications. FCP
Groton offers fluids online to keep your vehicles engine and drivetrain
components well protected.
Motor
Oil:
Conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 miles and synthetic oil
should be changed at 5,000 miles to prevent oil sludge and deposits
that can potentially harm your engine.
Transmission
Fluid/Oil:
It’s important to change the transmission fluid in your automatic
transmission to prevent slipping and unpredictable gear changes. Oil in
a manual transmission should be kept full for precise shifts without
grinding while switching gears.
Antifreeze:
Your
radiator should be flushed out when recommended and replaced with fresh
antifreeze to keep your engine running at the optimal temperature.
Brake
Fluid and Power Steering Fluid:
The fluids should be changed when recommended by the car manufacturer.
You’ll find that the fluid will evaporate over time and will need to be
topped off on a regular basis. The fluid is also microscopic and
attracts water thus eventually making the fluid less effective.
